Orange And Rose Wines Flashcards
Where does Phenolic Bitterness in a wine come from?
Phenolic compounds in grapes and stems
Aging in Stainless Steel Tanks limits the wines exposure to Oxygen during winemaking. True or False?
True
Can Botrytis affect the color of a wine?
Yes
How does the size of an oak barrel impact how much oxygen gets into the wine?
Smaller barrels allow more oxygen exposure
Battonage refers to _______ of the lees.
stirring
Which two wine faults can, in small doses, add positively to a finished wine?
- Volatile acidity
- Brettanomyces
What defines the Orange and Rose wine categories?
Skin contact in the winemaking process
Skin contact during fermentation influences the characteristics of the wine.
What do grape skins contribute to a finished wine? List the contributions.
- Color
- Tannins
- Flavor & Aromatic Compounds
These components significantly affect the wine’s taste, mouthfeel, and overall profile.
What is Maceration?
Maceration refers to crushing of grapes to release juices.
Maceration is a critical step in wine production that influences flavor and color extraction.
What does Maceration Length refer to?
Maceration Length = Skin Contact = the length of time the skins, pulp, and seeds are left in contact with the juice.
Longer maceration can lead to more intense flavors and colors in the final product.
What is the process called that involves soaking fruit in liquid to extract flavors?
Maceration
Maceration is commonly used in winemaking and culinary applications.
What does the rate of extraction refer to in the context of maceration?
The speed at which flavors and compounds are drawn out from the fruit or plant material
This rate can be influenced by factors such as temperature and duration.
What term describes the coloring substances extracted from fruits during maceration?
Pigment
Pigments are crucial for the color and visual appeal of the final product.
What are seed tannins?
Tannins that are extracted from the seeds of the fruit during maceration
Seed tannins can contribute to the astringency and mouthfeel of the final product.
What are skin tannins?
Tannins that are extracted from the skin of the fruit during maceration
Skin tannins typically influence the texture and flavor profile of the beverage or food.
What factor in maceration refers to how long the fruit is soaked?
Time
The duration of maceration affects the level of extraction and the final flavor of the product.
What historical practice was common in the production of white wine?
Most white wine historically would have had some skin contact.
This practice was due to the lack of technology for quick separation of skin and juice.
Why were tannins important in historical wine production?
Tannins help to preserve and stabilize wine before glass bottles and refrigeration.
Tannins contribute to the longevity and flavor profile of the wine.
What is the significance of extended maceration time in white wine production?
Strong traditions for making white wine with extended maceration time exist in and around the Caucasus Mountains.
This technique influences the flavor, color, and texture of the wine.
Which regions are known for their traditions in making white wine with extended maceration?
Modern Slovenia, Slovakia, Georgia.
These regions have a rich history of winemaking practices that include skin contact.
True or False: Skin contact in white wine production was a modern invention.
False.
Skin contact has been a historical practice due to the absence of quick separation methods.
Fill in the blank: Tannins help to _______ and stabilize wine before glass bottles and refrigeration.
preserve
Tannins are naturally occurring compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems.
What is the primary type of vessel used for fermenting and aging Georgian Orange Wine?
Large buried terracotta vessels called Queri
Queri are traditional vessels specific to Georgian winemaking.
How is Georgian Orange Wine sealed after malolactic fermentation (MLF)?
Sealed with beeswax and clay
This sealing method helps preserve the wine during aging.
What natural process occurs in Georgian Orange Wine as grape solids settle?
Naturally filtered and clarified
The settling of grape solids aids in the wine’s clarity without additional filtration.
